On the other side...
Huo Beian felt depressed, especially at home, where he would think of the times he spent with his grandmother when he was a child, and he felt sad.
He took a bottle of wine and went out alone, thinking he'd take a walk. He also wanted to call his wife to say hello.
He was forbidden from drinking alcohol in the army, but he was really distressed.
Before I knew it, I had walked and walked until I came to the entrance of an alley.
Huo Beian glanced at the people in the alley without thinking, but suddenly froze.
this……
He saw it! Song Ning and Gu Tingzhou were actually hugging and kissing? That woman's figure and face looked just like Song Ning's.
Didn't my wife not go back to Nancheng?
How did she end up with Gu Tingzhou?
Huo Beian clenched his fists, and the hand holding the wine bottle also gripped it tightly.
He suspected he was seeing things, since the lighting was dim in those days.
He shook his head, trying to clear his head.
But no matter how you look at it, it looks like Song Ning.
Huo Beian gritted his teeth, angrily threw the wine bottle in his hand to the ground, and then turned and left.
With a loud "bang," the bottle shattered into pieces.
Gu Tingzhou heard what sounded like a noise and looked toward the alley entrance, but all he saw was a shattered wine bottle; he didn't see Huo Beian from before.
He assumed he was just a drunkard passing by.
After a fierce internal struggle, Gu Tingzhou finally pushed her away and gasped for breath, "No... Shen Zhixia, you're really drunk and have mistaken me for someone else!"
However, Shen Zhixia's kiss came again.
She even started to take the initiative to unbutton his clothes and take off her own.
Gu Tingzhou knew she was really drunk, so he reached out and slapped her on the neck, knocking her unconscious.
"I'm sorry."
Seeing that she was drunk, and not knowing where she lived, he could only take her back to his own home first.
He then picked her up, intending to take her home first.
As a result, when we passed by a supply and marketing cooperative...
As a result, some people from the supply and marketing cooperative, including Gu Tingzhou who was holding a girl who looked a lot like Song Ning, started whispering among themselves.
"Isn't that girl Huo's daughter-in-law? How come she's with Gu Tingzhou?"
"Yes, Grandma Huo passed away, and I heard she didn't come."
"So you didn't go to Grandma's funeral because you were with another man."
"Oh dear, the eldest son of the Huo family is wearing a green hat..."
Gu Tingzhou's ears also keenly caught those whispers. He suddenly realized that this might cause a misunderstanding, so he quickened his pace.
Huo Beian, standing to the side, walked down the street, looking lost and dejected.
The image of Song Ning being held in Gu Tingzhou's arms and gazing sweetly at each other flashed before his eyes.
A piercing pain in my heart.
Could it be that my wife really...
No, he needs to call and confirm, just in case it's not his wife.
So Huo Beian immediately went to a phone booth.
I dialed the phone number for the military family compound in Gancheng.
The call was answered quickly.
"Who are you looking for?" the operator asked.
"Help me find Song Ning from Battalion Commander Huo's family compound."
"Okay, you wait here."
As luck would have it, whenever Huo Beian wasn't home, Song Ning would shower and sleep in the virtual space almost every night.
So when the operator went to find Song Ning, Song Ning was taking a shower in the room and didn't hear the noise outside.
The operator went back and said, "I'm sorry, Song Ning isn't home."
Upon hearing this, Huo Beian's phone slipped from his hand.
My wife isn't home.
Where would my wife go so late?
Could the woman who was with Gu Tingzhou just now really be Song Ning?
Huo Beian clutched his head in anguish; he couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it.
However, adhering to the principle of caution, he decided to go directly to Gu Tingzhou.
When Gu Tingzhou carried Shen Zhixia home, Shen Zhixia had just woken up.
She looked around in a daze, wondering, "Where am I?"
Then I noticed that under the streetlight in front of his door, a person was standing under the streetlight, his shadow stretched long and thin.
Huo Beian had been waiting here for a long time.
His face was stern, and his eyes were even colder.
"Huo Beian? What are you doing here?"
Gu Tingzhou stepped forward, and Huo Beian glanced at him before his gaze fell on Shen Zhixia.
Under the light, I saw a face that almost looked like my wife's; it was indeed her.
Huo Beian gritted his teeth and walked straight toward her, his tone tinged with humility and pain.
"Wife, can you explain this?"
"Wife? Explain? Explain what?" Shen Zhixia was immediately confused.
She looked at Gu Tingzhou, "Who is this person?"
A hint of despair flashed in Huo Beian's eyes as he sneered, "Wife, don't you even recognize me?"
"I……"
Shen Zhixia suddenly realized that the tall, handsome man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes in front of her might have mistaken her for someone else.
Shen Zhixia wanted to explain, but was afraid he would misunderstand.
"Don't misunderstand... I—"
She suddenly didn't know how to explain it.
"Why aren't you explaining anymore?"
Huo Beian was somewhat angry. He immediately stepped forward and grabbed her hand. "Come home with me."
Shen Zhixia's wrist ached from his grip, and he pulled her away.
Then Gu Tingzhou's voice came from behind.
"Let her go."
He stepped forward and pulled Shen Zhixia to his side.
"Huo Beian, look carefully, she is not your wife."
